Highway 99 between 32nd and 16th avenues southbound in South Surrey has been reopened to traffic.

A serious crash near the 152nd Street overpass just after 1 p.m. Thursday caused a road closure for hours.

Mounties say one man was taken to the hospital in critical condition. A second driver was also taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Drivers in the area can still expect major delays because of congestion according to DriveBC.
